It's awkward to translate kimochi but not yakuza, so it should be feelings mafia, or gangsters, etc. If you want to be more literal: "feelings losers"
The name yakuza originates from the traditional Japanese card game Oicho-Kabu, a game in which the goal is to draw three cards adding up to a score of 9. If the sum of the cards exceeds 10, its second digit is used as the score instead, and if the sum is exactly 10, the score is 0. If the three cards drawn are 8-9-3 (pronounced ya-ku-sa in Japanese), the sum is 20 and therefore the score is zero, making it the worst possible hand that can be drawn.
It more literally means "good for nothing" and came into use as an insult towards organized criminals.
Considering how many of these people are dog walkers at best, that's a pretty accurate term.
Yeah I think they were going for the mafia definition, but "feelings losers" fits perfectly. If anyone remembers the Japanese dialogue from Yakuza games, they like to call themselves Gokudou. (the wicked, the villains) Probably because it sounds more badass than losers. It might be used more in fiction than real-life though.
Another good one is porikore yakuza - The politically-correct Yakuza. It's been gaining popularity lately.
In terms of internet discourse, the term "feeling yakuza" is used to mean "those who turn their personal discomfort into a social evil and try to erase the target completely".
